Members irishstu Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 Whatever dude, next you're gonna try to tell us that Basque is a seperate language too Yeah, funnily enough, I learnt Castellano while I was living in the Basque Country. Basque is not the easiest language in the world. All the words seem to be like 14 letters on average Of course now I'm living in Taiwan, I really do wonder if it was that hard after all.

You think either of those are bad? Finnish has 15 singular noun cases, and one more in the plural!!! :eek::eek::eek: I HATE noun cases. In every language. Its the main reason I gave up on German...

Members basste Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 Currently, the only thing I speak well is English. My spoken German has gotten extremely rusty.I've just started getting all of my languages back into practice though, and I'm shooting for proficiency in German, French, Italian, and Spanish by the end of two years. A thing you can do to improve your french is to check out french bass forum (find link in Jazzad sig) with a good online dictionnary opened, like wordreference for example. It's the cool way i used to improve my school level english to something more usable: alt.guitar.bass then talkbass then HCBF. senator > same thing but it will be harder if you just started.

Members Super Bass Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 English & Irish (but not that good though)... I know a few words in Spanish and some in German. I want to learn Spanish properly next year, it would help in my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 English only, now. My German was pretty good at one point, but I haven't spoken it on a regular basis for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bnyswonger Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 I had a little French in high school - wish I would have had better instruction & taken it more seriously. I'm pretty good at pig latin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoundandBlocked Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 I think it's funny when people from other countries get puns and the like. I also like it when they correct a native English speaker's grammar. I just speak English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rippin' Robin Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 Putting "English" in the poll options is pretty superfluous, as anyone entering the poll would have be able to speak English to understand the poll Edit: And shouldn't the thread title be "WHICH languages do you speak?" *runs away* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flatball Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 English French I can understand a bit of Italian and Spanish (since they have some commonality with French) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pwgjam Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 English is it for me really. I used to be able to speak French pretty well but I forgot most of it sinc I left school. I can speak little bits of German and Icelandic though. Not a lot... But a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J. Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 English only. Despite six years of German (four years in high school, two in college), I can't speak it. In addition, I speak the upper Midwestern variety of American English, pronouncing many of my words like I'm in the movie Fargo (although not quite that dramatic).

Members lokidecat Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm sure you meant to say that you speak English poorly, in addition to crappy, broken Spanish. No. I did not mean to say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, you live in Enschede. That's where my parents are from. Heh, small world. And you're right, I used to watch Eurovision just to laugh. You can't help but watch it! To be on topic, I don't remember any bass player playing in the pocket, though. Only one saving grace, Eurovision did discover ABBA FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members King Kashue Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 No. I did not mean to say that. Indeed...He meant to say that he only speaks in lyrics from Bad English's 1991 album, Backlash...An underrated album, it's a testament to the versatility and depth of the songwriting that he's able to function from day to day...

Members Robin Posted December 8, 2008 Members Share Posted December 8, 2008 Was fluent in English, Norwegian and German as a child.(Norwegian mother, lived in Germany, 'merican Dad)Have forgotten most of my Norwegian & German now. Still know a few words though. If I ever get back to Norway to stay, I should pick it back up fairly easily. Also know enough Finnish to (barely) get by. That's a tough one!
